A Shocking Discovery

Who knew that some of the best sweets could be created out of desperation and a near-empty pantry?

We've been cutting back on the desserts around here (Mr. Geek has lost 20lbs, me, not so much. Let's say I'm back to my pre-baby weight though, which was by no means slim), so I try not to keep cakes and such around. But I was dying for some chocolate, and since I'm not partial to Mr. Geek's "dessert" of 8 semi-sweet chocolate chips, I had to resort to this:And believe me, there were a few more cookies on that plate prior to the photo. I just didn't want to appear swine-like.

Don't you love that I've resorted to the baby cookie stash too? Well, at least their organic, hmmph!

Of course, everything tastes better with Nutella. Amy even told me of a local diner where they serve Nutella French Toast. Forget maple syrup!
